Not our usual light and heart-warming Debbie. It wasn't a bad story, but I think I prefer the series to the stand-alones. And the topic of domestic violence, though handled gracefully, made for a bit of a heavy topic. I like to listen to Debbie Macomber books: the narrators are usually fantastic and the stories are light and easy to follow, with characters that I enjoy getting to know. However this particular book had a terrible narration. Her voice is so draggy and lethargic. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they slowed the narration down. I had to listen to it on a 1.5 speed, even sometimes a 2, just to make her sound normal. On regular speed her voice sounded so strange and forced. So this one was just okay for me. I might have had a more successful experience if I read this opposed to listening, but then I would have to freeze time and I've yet to figure out how to do that (touching my two index fingers together only seems to work for Evie. I've tried a million times)....more

I just have to say it! I love Debbie Macomber! There's just something about these books of hers that is so darn cozy and comforting. My favorite characters are always "les femmes d'un certain âge". Sometimes the younger dames can get a tad frustrating. They're always doing this thing where they run back and forth to their dude like 25 times before they finally give into their burning lust and settle down for a life of love and commitment (Kandice, you know what I'm taking about here, right?). The "certain âge" ladies seem to keep it together a bit better. I especially liked Grace's story line. I'm dying to know what happened to Tom! Here's another 5 stars for my fairy god author, Debbie Macomber! I just can't help myself! :D...more
